Help an incredible woman give back to others in thanks for her survival.

by Ruth Rogers in London, Greater London, United Kingdom

We're still collecting donations

On the 8th March 2022 we'd raised £854 with 5 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

Daniella Castelucci experienced a potentially life-threatening car accident in 2020.  Faced with overwhelming human kindness and compassion throughout her recovery, Dani is determined to give back, in thanks for her survival, and to those who helped her when she needed it most.

Dani's a PMI-accredited Project Management and Leadership instructor, with 5 years' experience teaching these subjects at the University Panamericana in Mexico, PMI and HP. Her way of giving back is powerful and poignant; she wants to volunteer her time to enable and equip women on low income with the skills and opportunities that she has been so fortunate to acquire.

Making this dream happen for Dani is The Canvas, a social enterprise community vegan cafe and event space in Shoreditch, East London; galvanising Londoners to connect, and create grassroots positive social change through innovative and impactful projects in their local area.

The Canvas is a mobilisation hub; a network of activists, creatives and positive doers. A perfect partner to make Dani's dream come true.

AlterEd will be a business school enabling low income, struggling and vulnerable London women, with a particular emphasis on the LGBTQ+ community, to acquire an education and certificate in:

- Project Planning

- Project Management

- Leadership & Neuroscience

We're raising funds for AlterEd to be run fully funded at The Canvas' space just off Brick Lane, where up to 15 students per session can come to an equipped classroom, gain Dani's accredited courses free of charge, alongside a homemade hot meal and refreshments.

Each course session costs £650 to run, for 15 candidates. Dani is completely volunteering her time (what a legend!)

We want to fund Dani's first 3 courses, and we're looking to raise £6,850 through this crowdfunder. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity in helping Dani help others!
